Introduction to FerretDB
FerretDB is an open-source database that provides a MongoDB-compatible interface, making it an excellent alternative for developers who want to leverage MongoDB’s flexibility without being locked into a proprietary ecosystem. Built on top of PostgreSQL, FerretDB combines the best of both worlds: the document-oriented features of MongoDB and the reliability of PostgreSQL.
With FerretDB, developers can use their existing MongoDB tools and libraries while benefiting from the robustness and scalability of PostgreSQL. This makes FerretDB a compelling choice for modern applications that require a flexible, scalable, and open-source database solution.

FerretDB offers several advantages over traditional databases:
- MongoDB Compatibility: Use your existing MongoDB tools, drivers, and libraries without any changes.
- Open Source: Fully open-source, giving you complete control over your database.
- PostgreSQL Backend: Leverage the reliability, scalability, and ACID compliance of PostgreSQL.
- Cost-Effective: Avoid vendor lock-in and reduce costs associated with proprietary databases.
